Okay! It's down to the wire! The update is a bit of a disappointment for me. The entire adventure of "Fear and Loathing" will not be ready for Oct 1st. Life, children, tech issues, the works. BUT WE STILL HAVE SOMETHING!

An elegant Black woman, draped in a cape of yellow birch leaves, dressed in a gown made of paper birch bark. She stands in a forest of birch trees holding a staff with a glowing white orb at the top, snow swirling from it.

A custom painted miniature of a Redcap. He has ruddy skin, red eyes, and thick white eyebrows, mustache, beard, and hair. He is wearing a tan, sleeveless tunic, brown pants, and brown leather bracers. His oversized red hat hangs down to his waist in both the front and the back, and he wears massive iron boots. His belt is fastened with a metal ring. He is snarling and stepping back slightly, a pikestaff held upright in his left hand. Blood splatters coat his pike blade, boots, and the ground.

In traditional folklore, Redcaps would hold a pikestaff in their left hand. I love that attention to detail in this model.

Naiads and Nereids are nature spirits of freshwater and seawater respectively. Given the net that is part of her minimal outfit, I'm inclined to say this one is a Nereid. A deceptively simple paint job!

The cliffs above Cragwatch are alive with wings, claws, and teeth. Dire bats, the symbol of Bat Country, strike with unnatural boldness. Can your party face the deadly night, survive the hunt, and uncover what drives the predators? #ttrpg #5e #homebrew #gamedesign #Metallands #dungeonsanddragons

Can the PCs endure Bat Countryโ€™s night of dread, blood, and wings? #ttrpg #5e #homebrew #gamedesign #Metallands

When designing the Revenant Fighter, the primary focus was on survivability. But while they never died, they were almost completely reactive. It needed a change.

Do you prefer classes that stay
consistent, or ones that can change tactics?

On this date in 1969, the Birmingham band known as Earth announced onstage that they were changing their name to Black Sabbath.

The setlist that night featured NIB, The Wizard, Black Sabbath, and Warning.

I've always liked this scene, because it reaffirms the idea that heavy metal is nerdy.

D&D is math with roleplay stapled on.
Daggerheart is group therapy with dice stapled on.

The Revenant Fighter is a warrior who not only accepts death as a workplace hazard but uses it. Death is their sword and armor, and on the battlefield, there is no escape. As long as they are breathing, Revenant is inevitable.

Ever wanted to play a fighter that is just too tough to die?

Alright, we are back for another good bit! Missed everyone, but I have not shown up empty-handed! We have been learning a new system, playtesting, and writing A LOT!

Update, the RIPper needs more work and playtest. But what is up for grabs now, after lots of testing? A new Fighter subclass!
